In two weeks, Comicpalooza will open their doors allowing the public to experience a truly unique and unforgettable comic convention. They are Texas' largest comic and pop culture event and I can guarantee, they will not disappoint. I took a brief look at the schedule and was very impressed, it' the Disneyland of comic conventions. Meaning, there is something for EVERYONE and there is no way you can see it all in one day. I'm going to break down the things I'm most excited about.

COSPLAY

You can't have a comic convention without cosplayers. This has always been my favorite part of comic conventions and I love seeing how creative everyone gets with their costumes. I will be out and about meeting with local cosplayers at Comicpalooza because I know this event is going to bring out the best of the best in Texas. This year the Cosplay Contest is sponsored by Texas Renaissance Festival, and since that is an event that I NEVER miss, I was really excited to see their sponsorship. How cool is that? The cosplay contest rules can be found by clicking the hyperlink above, so make sure to check them out to find out about signing up. The contest will be held Saturday, June 18th at 7:00 PM, so make sure to stop by to check out all the amazing costumes.
